Description
IF BIDDING FROM OUTSIDE THE UK THEN PLEASE NOTE THAT I USE EBAY'S GSP FOR POSTING. THESE COSTS CAN BE HIGH. IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO PAY THESE PRICES THEN PLEASE DO NOT BID. However I am willing to listen to requests to post outside of Ebay through signed-for and tracked. I would recommend using Ebay though as they cover taxes, customs lost items etc. Europe postings will cost £15 for a single item if I send them.
Unfortunately I need to cash in on some of my record collection to help fund my retirement so I would like to pass on these records to other people to share the enjoyment that I have had with the collection over the last 50 years.
For auction here is a UK SAMPLE RECORD of The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown reissue on the Track Backtrack label eventually as 2407012. This was pressed by Philips Records Ltd and comes with the inner sleeve listing all the tracks and other information. Runout information is :- side 1 2407012 A ? 1 1 1 1 side 2 2407012 B ? 1 1 1 1
There is no outer sleeve with this record as I believe that this is how it came
The inner sleeve is in a G condition as the reverse side has some tears.
Looking at the vinyl on both sides it looks Excellent. I can see some marks on the vinyl on side 1 track one but I don't think that they are scratches. There are some spindle marks on the labels but they are clear of writing and stickers.
Tracks:- Side 1 Prelude-Nightmare Fanfare-Fire Poem Fire Come And Buy Time Confusion
Side 2 I Put A Spell On You Spontaneous Apple Creation Rest Cure I've Got Money Child Of My Kingdom
I have played the vinyl through on both sides. There are some light clicks to start off with but it then settles into a great reproduction. You will still get the occasional click but this could just be dust
Audibly the music comes through very clearly and you should not be disappointed by the reproduction from that point of view.
For playback I use an Ortofon cartridge on a Technics SL1210MK2 through a Denon DRA 375RD amplifier to Wharfdale 3200 speakers.
I have started this off at £4.99 which is a fair start in my opinion.
Please bid with confidence as I have a 100% positive feedback rating.
I am willing to post multiple items abroad which will be tracked and signed-for. Payments for this method go direct through Paypal as Ebay's GSP does not cater for multiple item sales unfortunately.
I try to adhere as closely as possible to the Record Collector Magazine grading system which is shown below as a guide. I do add + and - to gradings for intermediate conditions. Any record described as 'Mint' will mean 'Unplayed'.
RECORD COLLECTORS GRADING SYSTEM
Mint (M) The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet. booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records marked as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint. Excellent (EX) The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing. Very Good (VG) The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects is acceptable Good (G) Te record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc Fair (F) The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced. Poor (P) The record will not play properly due to scratched, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing Bad (B) The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler On 22-Feb-19 at 17:54:48 GMT, seller added the following information:Having listened to this record more closely I am downgrading it to VG+ as I can hear more occasional clicks than I originally thought. It's still a great record and possibly unique however
